Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Lori Lightfoot promised to preserve abortion access for their constituents Tuesday less than a day after a Supreme Court document leaked that has thrown the future of Roe v. Wade into jeopardy.

Illinois 'will fight like hell' against overturning of Roe v. Wade decision, Pritzker says

"Illinois is a beacon of hope, and we will fight like hell for women here and across the nation. We support those who believe, not in limiting rights but expanding them. That is freedom, that is democracy," Pritzker said.
